Half-Term Activities

We have everything covered for half term at Durham Climbing Centre!

Children's sinks in the beginner climbing areas allow little ones to keep their hands clean during their session.

Rock Stars Classes

The ever popular term time sessions are available to book as one-off sessions during school holidays.

We want your children to experience the benefits of bouldering with our friendly and experienced climbing coaches.

Perfect for regular attenders, or anyone looking for a one-off activity including coaching and shoe hire. Try out a casual session before signing up for the term block. These sessions are suitable for existing term-time rock stars to try out older sessions before moving up.
